DALLAS, TEX, April 9.-The attendance
at the races to-day was not so good as
before, but the programme was quite as
interesting:
First race-Running, two mile dash,
all ages; 20 per cent. of purse 10 winner
of first halfmile, 80 per cent. to winner
of first mile, so per cent. to winner Of
two miles; purse $500. There were nine
entries. Jennie Mcfarland and Ira
Bride were the favorites in the
pools, but Foxhall and Abe
X, as we'll as Juliet F, had their friends,
and betting was lively all around. The
first half mile was won by Foxhall; time,
ssh. Mile by Ira Bride; time l:45. Two
miles by Ira BRIDE; time, 3:i6. As soon
as the race was announced, Mr.. Nc
Daniels, evidently friend and becker
of Juliet, forced his way up into
Judges stand and in violent manner as
serted that Juliet had won the first half
mile and accusing the judges-tWo of
them at least-of having been in the pool
room the night before, insinuating that
they were guilty of betting on the race
u
words followed, few blows
passed, and before Mr.. McDaniels
could speak further he found
himself escorted down the stairs with
more rapidity than courtesy. 1t is but
fair to state that the decision OF the
Judges was sustained by reporters and
officials in the stand, as we'll as by all the
public except those whose interest it was
=, ;pl- NIL Tr r.
arrested for his little adventure. He
wears black eye as a badge of his IN
fortunate bravery.
Second race-Runping; $500; handi-
cap; slI ages. Entries: Miss Cleveland,
Virgie Fear, n, Idle Pat. Miss Cleveland
left the wire with slight advantage and
gained during the first quarter, with Idle
Pat following two lengths behind. IL
the second quarter VIrgie Hear0n closed
on Idle Pat and st the half-mlle
post Miss Cleveland dropped be-
hind, Idle Pat and Virgie Hearon
leading neck and neck. These positions
were maintained, all moving steadily.
| Approaching the finish the excitement
was intense. ViTgIe HearOn Was the
favorite apd her friends cheered Justify,
| but she could not gain an inch and the
two flashed under the wire ct the same
moment, making dead heat
Much wranging now prevailed in
betting circles as to the DISPOSE
tion of the pools, which were
divided between Idle Pat ard Virgie
| Hearon. In the re-trial Idle Pat got the
! pole, Virgie Hearon next. The race IN
! detail was perfect repetition Of the first
until within q few feet Of the finish, when
! Virgie Hearon plunged ahead and took
! Idle Pats place, running under the wire
a length ahead. The judges decided that
! Virgie Hearon was guilty Of foul and
! sent her to the stable. This gave Idle
Pat the first and second trials as over
Miss Cleveland, and made him winner OF
the race. Time, 1:464.
Third race-Trottipg or pacing; three
in five; purse $500; three years old. En-,
tres: Maud Nc, Red Oak, G. s., Dennis
Mulcahay, Jennie B., j. [. r. The start
was even. j. l. r. took the lead, but
soon lost, then regaine0 it with varying
success. He ran under the wire half
length ahead of Dennis Mulcsnay, but was
| thrown back to second place for running.
This gave the heat to Dan; Red Oak,
third; Jennie B., fourth. Time, :05d
The second heat was difficult TO start,
each Jockey trying to get the advantage.
Finally the Judges threatened to fine those
purpOsely breaking the start, and ell came
down in good style, leaving the wire to-
gether. From the first, j. |. 4. took the
lead; Jennie B, second; Dennis Mu!ca-
hay, third These positions were main
tanned to the finish, Red Oak coming in
fourth. In the third heat, j. l. r. took
the lead and held it all around; Jennie
B., second; Dennis Mulcahsy, third.
Time, 800.
The trot and pace was won by J. l. R.,
Dennis Mulcahay, second; Red Oak,
third; Jennie fOnrth. The running
consolation I-mile dash was won by
KitCie Peas; Jam Williams, second: the
Returning Board, third; Judge Robinson
who had gone to the One-2ighth post to
start the consolation runners had given
the start and was watching the race when
again attacked by McDaniels who had
provoked the previous difficulty. Judge
Robinson responded with a couple Of
blows knocking McDaniels down. He
had endeevored to avoid trouble and was
compelled to defend himself. He gained
universal favor with the public for fair
ness and courtesy.
Fourth r8ce-FOr twO-year- Olds; one
half mile dash; six entries. This was an
off race in the pools, and what little bet
ting was made was by way Of pastime
and for small stakes, as no horse had a
record. The start was good, and they
ell held well together with varying advan-
tages. Incolean won the race; Indus
second, Imitator third. Time, 524.
Fifth race-Running consolation for
horses defeated in other races; seven
eighths mile dash; all ages; purse, $500;
eight entries. Hope and Kittie Peas pool
faVorites, though Jennie Mcfarland and
